Performance highlights
The COL Column Load Cell is designed for high-accuracy force and weight measurement in industrial environments. With a nominal capacity of 30,000 kg, it meets OIML R60 class C4 requirements, achieving a combined error of ≤ ±0.017% and a stable output of 2.0 mV/V ±0.1%.
Usage conditions
Thanks to its 17-4 PH stainless steel construction and IP68 ingress protection, the COL is ideal for outdoor and washdown environments. It operates reliably from -30 °C to +70 °C and withstands 120% safe overload. A matching KITCOL mounting kit ensures secure installation and optimal load alignment.
Applications:
- Industrial tank and silo weighing
- Certified weighbridges and platforms
- Heavy-duty force measurement systems
- Legal-for-trade installations
- Hazardous area installations (ATEX, IECEx zones 0–2 / 20–22)
- Food, chemical, or marine environments
Why choose this product?
This load cell combines legal-for-trade precision with rugged stainless steel design. It supports international certifications (OIML, ATEX, IECEx, UKCA, EAC, etc.) and comes with optional KITCOL, which includes anti-rotation features and a self-centering system for improved performance over time.
